How hard is it to tar up a source tree in its own sub-directory?
Obviously for some it must be really difficult.  When I 'tar -xvzf
your-cool-program-1.0.tar.gz', it damn well better extract itself into
the 'your-cool-program-1.0' directory instead of crapping all over my
current directory.

Hate.

Assume the worst, never be disappointed.

gunzip your-cool-program-1.0.tar.gz
tar -tf your-cool-program-1.0.tar

etc.

HTH HAND :)
